I love Nora Roberts, and it pains me to agree with the B- review. I noticed a tendency (affectation?) in the first book of the trilogy, Blood Brothers, for characters to speak in incomplete sentences. The trend continues in this book, and for whatever reason, I find it a bit irksome. Examples? Glad you asked:

This doesn't bother me at all in Nora's books. I know that I speak in incomplete sentences with my friends, so having Nora's characters do the same occasionally just makes their dialogue all that more believable for me.

I liked The Hollow...liked it better than the first book. I'd give it a strong B, maybe a B+.
